just been wathcing Arguello all day and my copy of the watt fight was a Eurosport superbout copy and it got me thinking why dont we bombard Eurosport with emails to bring back superbouts, they showed all the best fights. Imagine a classic fight every week would be heaven
do it man, worse they can say is no i dont see why they wouldnt though, a lot of their channel seems to be filling anyway and instead of equestrian competitions some boxing would be nice
It was on last week as well. They show a lot of Showtime fights delayed and even showed Lynes-Mbaye a week or two later.
yeh they how all the boxing on the nigths im at the gym so i canna watch them and i dont have a taper
Do they actually show any live fight anymore? Last one I remember was sitting up till 4am watching Ngoudjo-M'Baye.
thy shpwed Urango vs N'Dou and they shpwed a live card on Saturday and they show some random ones every month or so
i've given up on hoping for boxing coverage on UK networks, its also gonna get much worse before it gets better imo.
Eurosport are brilliant. They show a lot of delayed fights from the top level to average but interesting - Darchinyan vs. Agbeko mentioned above was on a few weeks ago. The commentary team are also much more entertaining than the cocksuckers fielded by Sky and ITV; I'm not sure who they are, but they always come across as being honest and insightful. It would be nice if they showed more Classic fights as well as modern ones. I know Five do the odd Classic bout in the middle of the night. They're periodic and often just show the clichéd clips of Clay vs. Liston I, but there are also some gems in there - I think Foreman vs. Holyfield was on there a few weeks ago. If you have Sky, ESPN Classic show some boxing, but it's usually repetitive crap about Tyson in his early days.
ESPN only really ever show Ali and Tyson. One time they showed Benn - Eubank I tho. I think its worth checkin frm time to time wat boxing they have
ESPN have cycles every 2-3 months they go Naz crazy then they have that reg and harry thing which is excellant and maybe once a year they have a week of classic fights they showed Buchanan vs Laguna 2 Olivarez vs Arguello and afew others at that week
i like Superbouts with the original commentry. i Hate it when Eurosport's Steve Holdworth dubs over it with his dull lame commentry killing the atmosphere of the actual exciting live event.
